Criminal Intelligence Unit - Criminal Intelligence Section

In April 2004, the Criminal Intelligence Section was expanded with the addition of the analytical unit. These units were added to support the division with analytical products, maintaining multiple databases, and searches of these databases.

The Criminal Intelligence Section is currently comprised of sworn and civilian criminal analysts who are tasked with a multitude of responsibilities. One of these responsibilities was the formation of a monthly intelligence bulletin, disseminated to the field. The purpose of this bulletin was to coordinate the exchange of interstate and intrastate intelligence information pertaining to domestic / international terrorism, and criminal activity. These bulletins are intended to educate and inform our troopers on tactics and weapons used intrastate, regionally, and nationally by criminals and arrestees, for the safety of our troopers. Additionally, this section provides this assistance to other State, Local, and Federal law enforcement agencies as well.

Another function of the analytical unit is the management of multiple databases to input and receive confidential information, evaluate patterns and trends of suspicious criminal extremist activity. Some of the databases maintained by the analytical unit are the Regional Information Sharing System (Riss.Net), the Joint Regional Informational Exchange System (JRIES), -), Law Enforcement Online (LEO), LEXIS-NEXIS. The analytical unit makes queries on these databases to assist troopers, officers, and agents in the field to enhance their investigations and provide targets for investigation.
